Nutrition coaching

Do you want to regain a sense of hunger and fullness, feel in control of your weight and increase your self-esteem and sense of empowerment with regard to eating?

It is more about how to eat rather than what to or what not to eat.

Nutrition Coaching at Mater Health and Wellness promotes a coaching approach to weight management and healthy eating, drawing on evidence-based strategies and promoting a ‘life-skills’ focus to facilitate lifestyle change to achieve a more comfortable and healthy weight.
A variety of packages are available, allowing clients to select from a suite of services and resources to meet their individual needs.

Dieting is like driving around with the handbrake constantly on—sooner or later the brakes wear out and the car becomes out of control.
